A nature walking safari

A nature walking safari is an exciting activity in which participants take calm, guided walks through nature reserves without using automobiles to witness wildlife in a more natural setting. There are two types of nature walks available in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Nature walks inside the camp and outside the main reserve. These hikes within the camp last 45 minutes to an hour and cost between $50 and $75 per person. The walk beyond the main reserve takes about 2.5 to 3 hours for a distance of 9 to 15 kilometers, with a packed breakfast or lunch depending on the time spent traveling to and from the walking safari location and game drives. Prices range from USD 90 to USD 150 per person. 

Best time for the Nature Treks 

These nature treks are best done early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the sun is not too scorching. Except for Hell’s Gate National Park, most of Kenya’s national parks forbid hiking within their boundaries. The same is true for the Masai Mara National Reserve, which is located on both the Narok and Mara Reserve sides. Walking safaris that are well-planned and monitored are available in private areas surrounding the main reserve. Meanwhile, even within the main reserves, camps, and lodges surrounding their safari assets offer short nature excursions, frequently lasting only an hour.

The Masai Mara, with its characteristic African environment of infinite golden grass and gorgeous acacia trees, is ready to fulfill your fantasy. All year long, cheetahs, leopards, enormous lions, elephants, giraffes, hyenas, giant Nile crocodiles, frolicking hippos, and many other species of wildlife can be observed.

Bird watching in Masai Mara

The Masai Mara National Reserve has an exceptional record of bird-watching safaris, with over 200 species of birds sighted in a single day on extended nature walks. The Masai Mara National Reserve, which is home to the annual wildebeest migration, is attracting more people. The Masai Mara National Reserve’s ecology encourages nature walks. This is accomplished with the assistance of game wardens that are armed with rifles and use pathways not frequently used by predators. Lifeguards can get up close and personal with the park’s elephants, giraffes, antelopes, buffalo, and other grazing animals. This exercise is a lot of fun, and participating in it keeps you active during your stay. Researchers are interested in this primarily to learn more about the reserve’s many plant zones, animal behavior, the relationship between local people and the park, and other topics.
